Self Evaluation
Many of my classmates said that I needed more eye contact and stronger voice. Also, some of my examples were weak to convince their view points. For example, I said that students should be able to use the gym during lunch time. However, they thought that skipping lunch will be more unhealthy. I think in this term, misinterpretation was huge because I didn't meant it in that way. I was trying to convince them to work out more after eating lunch. Next time, I think I need to think about my opinions and evidence in the audience's perspectives so that they can understand better. Another part that need to improve is my grammar skills. Some of the students told me that my grammar needed improvement because in persuasive speech, one needs to sound articulate. Therefore, I think that is the part that I need to improve too.
Overall, many of my peers pointed out the weaknesses that I truly needed to improve. They also pointed out my strength in the speech. For example, Jenny said that my call-to-action was very helpful so that the audiences could remind the main points in later and know what to do. Through this assignment, I had a chance to step up to the class and present my opinion about the issue. I think it was a really good experience.
